Cash Register vs. Point of Sale (POS) System

Which is Better?

The one item in a retail store a business owner can't do without is the cash management
system. Whether it's the traditional, electronic cash register or an elaborate computerized
point of sale (POS) system, every store needs a machine to process sales.

When the doors are open and the lights are on, the cash register becomes more than
a safe place to store money. It has the ability to save money, quickly process a
customer's transaction and accurately keep records.

For a new business, the choice of cash register or POS system may simply depend
on the budget of the retailer. Don't pass the responsibility of selecting the cash
register to employees. Do your homework. Before selecting a cash register or POS
system, understand your business needs, the cash management options and POS hardware
available and make your selection based on an educated decision. A consultant can
help point you to the direction you need but the responsibility of selecting the
POS system is yours.
